Associate Research Scientist Position In Bioanalytical NMR
An opening for an Associate Research Scientist is available in the
laboratory of Dr. Daniel Raftery in the Chemistry Department at Purdue
University.
The work will focus on NIH-funded projects involving the development and
application of new methods in bioanalytical NMR spectroscopy and especially
metabolomics. This work will primarily focus on the analysis of various
types of biofluid samples. A range of advanced and high field NMR
instrumentation is available in the laboratory and in Purdue's large NMR
facility.
The sucessful applicant will help design and direct research projects in the
Raftery group. He or she will work either independently or with Dr. Raftery
to develop protocols for new experimental methods in accordance with new
research goals. The Associate Reseach Scientist will participate in
formulating ideas and concepts for grants, and contribute significantly to
the writing and submission of grants. He or she will implement and
coordinate research plans, help set goals, and evaluate and report progress
of research projects. The Associate Research Scientist will monitor and
direct efforts to keep the work on schedule, and importantly will develop
new projects and collaborate with outside scientists and organizations.
The position requires a Ph.D. in NMR spectroscopy, chemistry, biochemistry
or physics and a minimum of two years advanced proficiency experience in
nuclear magnetic resonance. This position also requires strong
high-resolution NMR skills; an ability to work independently as well as with
graduate students and other researchers, on- and off-campus; familiarity
with other analytical techniques such as mass spectrometers; and the ability
to write clearly for publication and grant proposals. Experience and
interest in developing new NMR and statistical analysis methods and for
novel metabolomics-based studies is highly desired. The successful
applicant will be expected to help supervise, direct and train laboratory
personnel including postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.
Interested applicants should provide a CV and cover letter. The position is
available immediately, and will last for up to three years by mutual
consent. Applicants should feel free to contact Dr. Raftery directly by
mail, e-mail (raftery_at_purdue.edu) or phone (765-494-6070). Purdue
University is an equal opportunity/equal access/affirmative action employer.
